[QUOTE="Jonik, post: 1086026, member: 138449"] I hit 80-90ºc when running things like skype/logic pro with firefox or other stuffs open, and 95-104ºc with handbrake working. I have same model I believe, but 500gb 5400 drive on 10.5.8. I've always been told that is how hot they run. I have it on a laptop stand and have never had a shutdown - so until I do I'm not worrying and believing it is normal. I rarely use it on my lap, and if I do it's only for something like Mail or firefox... I'd take it into the genius bar, better still with a video of your computer shutting down because of heat - I had an issue with usb sparks which I couldn't replicate in the shop. Turned out it was not the laptop at all, but even with the same kit there for the genius to see it is hard to feel like you should be listened to and not be told it is normal if they can't see it for themselves.
